Depression or Wacky Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cups ½all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or black cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup cooled brewed coffee or water
Instructions
- Preheat to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch round or square pan.
- Mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and the sugar. Poke three holes into the mix. Pour the vanilla, vinegar, and oil into each hole — or depression (see what I did there?) — respectively.
- Add the coffee and stir the ingredients until well blended. Add to the pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set but springy. Cool the cake in the pan, then top with the frosting of your choice or enjoy plain.
